Inimitably dexterous on lead guitar & vocals, Andy Murray, who has won a prize for "Best Instrumentalist" & "Best Lead Guitarist" and been hailed as a "mean guitar player" will pay tribute with some blistering guitar solos to two of the most influential guitarists of the '60s: Jimi Hendrix with "Purple Haze" & Eric Clapton with "Sunshine of Your Love".

Duck Chowles & Andy Murray also achieve the perfect harmony blend, one of their trademarks, for Simon & Garfunkel hits like "The Boxer" & the iconic, "The Sound of Silence", as well as for The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" & "Nowhere Man". The show also takes you down the highway with "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf and Jim Morrison & The Doors' "Riders on the Storm" & "Roadhouse Blues".
